ZIonE

TaSTE PErfECTIon for fooD PErfECTIonISTS

•Written by Elizabeth Riggio Photos by Lee Seul

My aunt always likes to tell me that someone who isn’t Italian can’t make a good pizza. Well, Chef GuJaTae, owner of Zione Pizzeria, would certainly give her a run for her money. If you’ve ever enjoyed the delicious freshly-baked bread of Little Italia, then it is time you checked out Zione. both restaurants are owned and operated by Chef GuJaTae, who’s story is as inspiring as his food’s flavor. This food will have you feeling like you’re eating your Italian grandma’s homemade food from the old country.

Zione is a quaint restaurant hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the main street in downtown. This is no accident. Chef Gu opened his newest restaurant with the hope that it will become a small hidden gem of Daegu. And it certainly is.

The entrance of Zione is located in the “back” of the restaurant. There is a small garden and outdoor seat-ing area leading up to a small establishment that has its sleek brick oven as the central focus. The kitchen area is open with the seating located around it. The ceramic tiles on the walls and high industrial beams on the ceiling give it a very enticing and rustic feel. but certainly the oven steals the show. Taking six months

in total to finish, the oven’s materials have all been imported from Italy. Chef Gu says when he was in Italy he was inspired by the taste that a wood-burning oven could give to a pizza. Many Italian restaurants in korea use gas or electric brick ovens but what makes his oven special is the use of wood. It gives the pizza a very real taste.

The taste of one of these pizzas is undeniable. We were able to try the Margherita pizza, a classic. Or perhaps a not-so-classic classic. The crust is thin and malleable and has a light yet distinctive wood-burning smell and taste. The mozzarella cheese dollops are fresh as well as the ripe basil. but most certainly the best part of this pizza is the sauce. Made with extra virgin olive oil that is kept in a copper jar to keep from oxidizing, this olive oil is from Italy and gives the sauce a light and tasty flavor. The sauce is so light and fresh, you’ll forget that any other type of sauce existed before.

Have you ever heard of Cavatelli pasta? If you haven’t yet, you will now. It is a soft noodle pasta that looks like a knot. This melt-in-your-mouth pasta is served with meaty eggplant bites that contain that same wonderful smoky, fiery taste that the pizza has. It’s topped with


a light tomato sauce and basil. The flavors fuse so well together, I promise your mouth will thank you for the welcome break from the overly sweet, spicy, or creamy pastas that are common in many korean-Italian establishments.

All of Chef Gu’s ingredients are fresh and authen-tic. He gets local ingredients from Italy and when he can’t, he uses ingredients from his small garden or his family’s small-town farm. He makes his own salami and prosciutto because he says he can cus-tomize the meat to the types of flavors he has in his dishes, instead of conforming to the tastes of fac-tory-produced meat. Chef Gu has traveled around the world on different occasions in search of the best quality ingredients. One might think he had years of formal training to be a chef, but in fact, he is completely self-taught. He started out studying machinery in school but he had always been inter-ested in cooking due to his parents’ farm. His first experience in cooking was at an Italian restaurant where he became a kind of apprentice to one of the chefs. He read books and researched. In 2008, he traveled to Italy and other countries to search for the perfect tastes and find his flavor profile.

One such flavor that inspired him was the oyster. Currently on the menu now, these oysters are a seasonal appetizer that are sure to convert you if you aren’t a big seafood fan. He was inspired to create this dish while in Italy. He said he grabbed some oysters from the sea, squeezed some lemon on them, and enjoyed with white wine. The oysters at Zione have been dressed up a bit—topped with pomegranate, parsley, and a light lemon vinai-grette. It’s a fresh beginning to any meal.

If you are a fan of dessert, you won’t want to miss out on one of Chef Gu’s delectable options. As he says, dessert is very important. In cooking, it’s the ending. In a sense, it “ties” up a meal. If you’re into a light, sweet taste, try the grape sorbet. It has a tangy edge reminiscent of a wine spritzer. If you like a rich dessert, go for the cheesecake. With a fresh, crumbly graham crust and thick, creamy body of cheese, this one is not to be missed.

http://www.daegucompass.com10 Zione


The menu at Zione is small but mighty. Chef Gu has one menu that is constant, and then a chef’s specials menu that changes regularly. He does this to allow for creative freedom and to keep the dishes interesting.Chef Gu is always looking for the best ingredients. In fact, he goes to Italy every two years to see what new local flavors there are to try. Zione also has a special wine selection that changes each week. The prices are highly competitive—a Margherita pizza goes for 15,900 won and pastas start at 11,000 won. for this kind of quality, you won’t find a better deal.

Although Zione only opened in October, it is already clear that Chef Gu knows what he’s doing. With 13 years of experience in owning Little Italia, and a staff who have been working for him for years, he has created a culture of excellence and quality in his busi-ness. Zione is new and exciting now, but Chef Gu is looking towards the long-term. He wants to develop his business slowly and hopes he will have a business that others will want to follow. Well, he is certainly on his way.

SUrf & TUrf

loBSTEr anD BUrgErS MakE for a TaSTY CoMBInaTIon

•Written by Daniel brownPhotos by Ivan broida

The name “Surf & Turf” is well known among the ex-patriate community in korea as it represents a plate of seafood (lobster, prawns, or shrimp) and meat (beef steak or filet mignon) that can be typically eaten throughout the world. However, the korean Peninsula has yet to fully embrace this type of eatery except for at some high-end restaurants. for this reason, a spin on the traditional surf and turf was recently concocted in Daegu with the thought to have a menu of lobster and burgers. The idea of having lobster and ham-burgers in a relaxed atmosphere is unfamiliar to most koreans. “koreans typically associate lobster with a fancy and expensive restaurant,” said Lee Jung-Hyun, co-owner of Surf & Turf, which opened in Daegu this past September. Lee spent a decade falling in love with this type of cuisine while she lived, worked, and studied across the United States. However, homesick-ness led to relocating from New york City back to her hometown of Daegu, where she ran into her childhood friend kim Sang-Hyun. kim had the idea to serve lob-ster rolls, which is a sandwich filled with lobster meat soaked in butter or mayonnaise and served on hot dog shaped bun or a similar roll which has its roots traced to Northeastern North America. With a little help from kim’s sister, a chef in Canada, the restaurant appropri-ately named Surf & Turf was born.

Located less than a 5 minute walk from Geondeulbawi Station (line 3) in Daebong-2 dong, right down the street from the US military installation Camp Henry, Surf & Turf fits nicely into a up and coming neighbor-hood of new restaurants and art galleries. The menu is reasonably priced and features the signature New En-gland Lobster Roll for 16,000 won. The rolls are toasted on the grill and filled to the brim with a healthy portion of lobster. Lee points out that, “All of our lobster comes from Canada and Maine which has the best quality.” In fact, you can order a whole lobster or a small one if you like depending on the current market price. The price for a whole lobster usually runs around 58,000 won and a small one can be had for around 34,000 won.

If the ‘surf’ side of the menu does not tickle your fancy, then you can always go with the tried and true ‘turf’ side. The best seller is the Miami burger with chips for 13,000 won. The burger comes on a moist and soft bun. It is topped with a healthy portion of guacamole and cheese. If you crave the best of both worlds, one should go with the aptly named Surf & Turf burger for 15,000 won. This burger is topped with a handsome amount of lobster that melts in your mouth. All burgers are made with 100 percent Australian beef. for an additional 2,000 won, one can add french fries and coleslaw as a combo for all the main dishes on the menu.

The drink menu has a nice beer selection that sticks to the surf mantra and goes along with the surfboard décor of the restaurant. bottles of Long board Island Lager & big Wave Golden Ale from the kona brewing Company of Hawaii are featured. A few other beach going beers like Guam 1 and Co-rona are also on the menu. If you want to drink on the cheap, korean draft beer is available as well as a variety of canned soft drinks.

Slowly but surely, Daegu has been following the lead of Seoul and busan with regards to the restaurant busi-ness. Lee and her partner agree that Daegu is a bur-geoning market for foreign food and sees the potential for growth. “We want to bring a new option to Daegu for foreign residents and koreans alike to enjoy.” With plans to expand their menu in the future, it is quite clear that Surf & Turf is a welcome addition to Daegu.

CafE DE nUnChI

•Written and Photographed by brian M. Van HiseTranslated by yujeong Lee

for anyone who has lived in Daegu for longer than a few months will know that businesses downtown seem to spring up out of nowhere overnight. What was once a major retailer one day is an empty lot the next. One’s favorite restaurant is now a clothing shop and one’s favorite cafe has just become a new favorite pizza parlour. Sometimes it feels like a roll of the dice, when heading downtown and hoping to frequent your favor-ite place for food or coffee.대구에 적어도 몇 달 이상 살고 있는 사람이라면 누구나 동성로 쪽의 가게들이 밤새 갑자기 생겨나는 것을 봤을 것이다. 하루는 사람들이 많이 찾는 인기가게였다가 그 다음 날엔 없어지기도 일쑤다. 누군가가 가장 즐겨 찾았던 식당이 이제는 옷 가게가 되고, 누군가가 가장 좋아하던 카페가 이제 막 새로운 피자가게가 되기도 한다. 동성로에 갈 때면 가끔은 음식집이나 카페에 갈 수 있기를 바라며 주사위를 굴리는 듯한 기분이다.

Well, on an otherwise common street, a quaint little cafe has seem to have sprung up magically among a throng of fashion boutiques and small restaurants. That cafe is Cafe de Nunchi.반면에 이 평범한 거리에 있는 수많은 옷가게와 작은 음식점들 사이에 작고 예스러운 분위기를 풍기는 카페가 마법처럼 나타난 듯 하다. ‘눈치 카페’이다.

Owned by Jon Parsons along with his lovely wife Soh-ee, the two started up the cafe after having gained a long and personal knowledge of coffee making. Having managed his own coffee shop in his native South Afri-ca, Jon spent a number of years living in South korea. Living in Daegu and Seoul, he has paid particular at-tention to the coffee culture in korea and is now taking that knowledge to his craft.존 파슨스씨가 사랑스러운 아내 소희씨와 함께 운영하고 있는 이 까페는 커피에 대한 지식을 오랜시간 개인적으로 공부를 한 뒤에 열게 되었다. 존씨는 고국인 남아공에서 카페를 운영한 적이 있으며 한국에서 산지는 좀 된 편이다. 대구와 서울에 살면서 한국의 커피문화에 대해 특별한 관심이 생겼고 이제는 그 지식을 그의 특별한 재능에 쓰고 있다.

Cafe de Nunchi opened its doors in early October and kicked things off with a special one-day event. “We started off with our 100 mugs event,” Jon explains. The cafe offered the first 100 mugs of their special latte for only 1,000 won each. “We didn’t do 100, but we did about 90.” That’s not bad for a fresh, start-up cafe. Along with Instagram promotions and korea Naver power bloggers popping in for visits, the cafe is off to a roaring start.

눈치 카페는 10월 초에 오픈했고 특별한 원데이 이벤트로 시작했다. “우리는 ‘100 머그 이벤트’로 시작했어요.”라는 설명을 들었다. 처음 스페셜 라떼 100잔을 달랑 1000원에 팔았다. “그날 하루100잔까지는 못 채웠지만 90잔은 팔았어요.” 처음 막 시작한 카페치고는 나쁘지 않은 성적이었다. 인스타그램 홍보와 네이버의 파워 블로거들도 찾기 시작했고 이젠 카페가 자리를 잡았다.

Despite its coffee menu, I found the pastries and desserts to be worth of particular mention. Cafe de Nunchi specializes in what are called dutch pan-cakes or Dutch babies. “About two years ago, we were watching a travel show on Amsterdam and they were doing the dutch pancakes,” Jon says, telling how the idea for Cafe de Nunchi first took shape. “I’ve seen Swiss coffee shops in korea and french, Italian, and Irish, but no Dutch. I’m from South Africa and have some Dutch ancestry. We searched for these Dutch baby pancakes and we couldn’t find them anywhere in korea.” He men-tioned that since then a few places have opened up

http://www.daegucompass.com18 Cafe de Nunchi

that do them. “And,” he quips, “it’s not actually a Dutch pancake. It’s really German.” Either way, it’s delicious and if Cafe de Nunchi is the only place in Daegu spe-cializing in them, we hope that’s well worth your visit.커피 메뉴 외에도 빵과 디제트도 특별히 언급을 해야할 것 같다. 눈치 카페는 더치 팬케이크, 혹은 더치 베이비라고 부르는 메뉴가 특기이다. “2년 정도 전에 안스테르담에 관한 여행 프로그램을 보고 있었는데 거기에 더치 팬케이크가 나왔어요.” 존씨가 어떻게 눈치카페에 대해 아이디어를 얻게 되었는지 설명해주었다. “한국에 스위스, 프랑스, 이탈리아, 아일랜드 카페도 봤지만 네델란드은 없었어요. 전 남아공에서 왔고 제게는 네델라드인 조상의 피도 프르죠. 저희는 이 더치 베이비 팬케이크에 대해 조사를 해봤었고, 한국에서는 어디에서도 찾을 수가 없었어요.” 그리고 그 이후로 몇몇 가게에서 더치베이비를 파는 것을 보았다고 말했다.

“그리고 사실은 더치 팬케이크도 아니에요. 사실은 독일식이죠.” 어떻게 되었든 이 메뉴는 맛있다. 그리고 만약 눈치카페가 더치 베이비를 하는 유일한 곳이라면 이 곳을 찾는 발걸음이 헛되지는 않기를 바란다.

How about the cafe’s name? Nunchi is a korean word literally meaning “eye measurement” but often used to reference when one is looking out for another or can read a situation really well. Interested in the fact that there is no English equivalent to the word, Jon and his wife decided on it for a cafe name, saying: “It gets people talking.”


카페의 이름은 어떨까? 눈치는 한국어로 말 그대로 “눈으로 하는 측정”이라는 의미이지만 보통은 다른 사람을 살피거나 분위기가 어떤지 잘 읽어낸다는 의미로 쓰인다. 영어로 대응되는 단어가 없다는 것이 관심을 끌었고, 존과 그의 아내는 이 단어를 카페 이름으로 쓰게 되었다. “사람들이 카페에 대해 말을 한다.”라는 의미로.Cafe de Nunchi also offers amazing fridge tarts, fon-dant au Chocolate, the Dutch baby (re-branded as Nunchi baby) and various dessert set combinations as well. Their coffee menu has what you would expect but also a few twists. We liked the inclusion of the Coconut Latte and classic staples like Vanilla Latte, Cream Latte, and Caramel Latte. Price points for Cafe de Nunchi are slightly higher than neighboring cafes, but this is due to the fact that they get their beans from a local, Daegu roaster called Cafe bunker and use their Daegu-roast-ed bunker Coffee beans for brewing. This guarantees a unique, local taste hard to find elsewhere.끝내주는 타르트에 폰당 쇼콜라, 눈치 베이비(더치 베이비), 이외에도 다양한 디저트 셋트 메뉴가 준비되어 있다. 커피 메뉴는 보통 우리가 생각하는 것과 비슷하지만 몇 가지는 다른 것들이디 있다. 코코넛 라떼가 포함되어 있다는 것이 좋고 바닐라 라떼, 크

림 라떼, 카라멜 라떼와 같은 클래식한 메뉴들도 있다. 근처에 있는 카페들보다 이 곳은 가격이 약간 더 높긴 하다. 하지만 이는 대구지역의 로스터리인 카페 벙커에서 커피빈을 들여오고 그 곳에서 로스팅한 커피빈을 커피를 내리는 데 사용한다. 이는 다른 데서는 찾기 힘든 독특한 대구만의 맛을 낸다.

The cafe is located just off of cell-phone street at Jung-gu, bongsan Dong 15-3 (중구 봉산동 15-3) and is open daily from noon until 10pm (closed Mondays).find them on facebook: www.facebook.com/cafedenunchiAnd on Instagram: www.instagram.com/cafe.de.nunchi/눈치 카페는 핸드폰골목에서 조금 벗어난 곳에 있으며 주소는 중구 봉산동 15-3이다. 매일 12시부터 오후 10시까지 문을 열며 월요일에는 쉰다. 페이스북 : www.facebook.com/cafedenunchi인스타그램 : www.instagram.com/cafe.de.nunchi/

anDong MaSk fESTIVal

•Written and photographed by Nashville Severance Translated by yujeong Lee

On October third the Daegu Photography Club went to Hahoe Village in Andong for the International Mask festival. We were lucky enough that the second week-end of the festival also fell on the same date as Scott kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk. There are multiple ven-ues throughout Andong that have performances, al-though in my experience the stage at Hahoe Village is the best venue. Hahoe Village sits next to a river and is surrounded by mountains giving a superb background to what are very traditional performances. Having tak-en pictures there last year with Chris Cusick (thelos-tlens.co.uk) I know that performances differ but some of them, the more iconic, performances stay the same. This year we watched three performances; there were more that day but as none of us live in Andong we left before the later performances. 10월3일 ,대구포토그래피클럽은안동에있는하회마을에서열리는안동국제탈춤축제에갔다. 축제 2주차는스캇켈비의월드와이드포토워크의날짜와겹친날이기도했다. 경험상으로는하회마을에설치된무대가최고의장소이긴했지만안동곳곳에공연이열리는다양한장소들이있었다.하회마을은강바로옆에있고매우전통적인공연의멋진배경이되어주는산으로둘러싸여있다. 작년에는그곳에서크리스쿠식(thelostlens.co.uk)과 함께 사진을 찍었는데, 공연이 좀 달랐지만 몇몇 상징적인 장면들은 그대로인 것을 눈치챘다. 올해는 세가지 공연을 보았다. 그 날 공연이 더 있었지만 우리 중 아무도 안동에 살고 있지 않았기에 이 후의 공연 이전에 떠나야만 했다.

The first performance had four men running around in search of a lord to serve. The rich man who was even-tually found even presided over the marriage of one of own, despite already being married to a korean wom-an. The newly weds had a very prosperous honeymoon as the four manservants presented the four offspring that was a result of this happy yet unexpected union.첫번째 공연은 네 명의 남자가 모시려는 주인을 찾아 돌아다니는 내용이었다. 결국 찾아낸 사람은 어느 부자였고, 한국여자와 이미 결혼했음에도 불구하고 자신의 결혼의 사회를 보고 있었다.행복하지만기대하지않았던이결합의결과로네명의하인이네명의자식을데려오며이신혼부부는화려한신혼여행을보냈다

The second and most iconic “HahoeMaskdance” con-sists of several parts performed over about an hour. Some of the highlights contained a bull, which “uri-nates” on the crowd but then meets his demise at the hands of a farmer who guts and offers the audience the particular organs. 두번째는 가장 상징적인 ‘하회탈춤’이었다. 다양한 파트로 이뤄져 있었고 한 시간이 넘는 공연이었다. 몇몇 하이라이트에는 황소가 포함되어 있었다. 이 황소는 관객들에게 오줌을 쌌지만 곧 농부의 손에 죽임을 당하고, 농부는 소의 내장을 제거하고 관색들에게 특정 장기들을 주었다.

Then you will witness a hard working grandmother slaving over a loom complaining about aches and pains followed by her plea for supplements to her income as she walks around the stage with outstretched hands to the audience. 그다음으로는베틀에서 고되게 일을 하며그 너머로 통증과 고통을 불평을 하는 한할머니를보게될것이다.그리고는무대를 돌아 다니며 약을 사게 해달라며 관객에게 손을 뻗어 동냥을 했다.

What seems to be the crowd’s second favorite is the monk and young girl. This monk is attracted to a young girl who he witnesses relieve herself. The rest of the skit is spent with him pursuing the young woman.관객들이 두번째로 좋아했던 것은 승려와 어린 소녀였던 것 같다. 이 승려는여자가 오줌을 누는 장면을 보고 그 여자에게 끌렸다. 나머지 내용은 승려가 여자를 쫓아다니는 내용으로 채워졌다.

Then the crowd favorite is always the drunk man skit. This particular performance does involve some par-ticipation from the audience and if you are not korean your chances of being pulled up on stage are much the greater than the local populace. 관객들이가장좋아하는내용은항상술취한남자가등장하는장면이다. 이특정한공연은관객의참여를유도했고만약당신이한국인이아니라면무대위로뽑혀서올라갈가능성은다른사람들보다훨씬크다.

On this particular day the final performance that we stayed for was called “IcheonGeobukiNori.” This per-formance began with a turtle escorted by men dressed


in what could best be described as ghillie suits. People dressed in traditional korean clothing dancing or play-ing drums took up the rest of the stage. This perfor-mance would end with two of the dancers each having a solo and both were incredibly spectacular showing a great deal of talent. 우리가 갔던 이 특별한 날 보았던 “이천거북이놀이”라고불렸었다. 잘 설명해보자면사냥꾼 안내인과 같은 복장을 한 사람들의 에스코트를받은 거북이와 공연이시작되었다. 사람들은 전통적인 한국의상을 입고 춤을 추고북을 연주하며나머지무대를채웠다. 이공연은 두명의 춤꾼이각각 솔로공연을 하는것으로끝이났는데둘다 믿을 수 없을 정도로 화려한 쇼였으며 모두엄청난 재능을 보여주었다.

The group would leave after the 3pm performance there were two more scheduled for that day. While I personally went only to shoot the performances other photographers did come away from some wonderful shots around the village and from the hill that overlooks the village.대부분의 그룹은 3시 공연이 끝나자 돌아가고 싶어했지만 그 날 공연이 두 개가 더 남아 있었다. 개인적으로는 공연 사진마찍기 위해 포토워크에 참가했고 반면에 다른 사진작가들은 마을 주위의 아름다운 사진을 찍거나 언덕에서 마을 전경을 찍고 돌아왔다.

The Mask festival happens every year around the beginning of October and is one of the best festivals to visit for a more traditional korea. 매년 10월초쯤에안동국제탈춤축제가열리며이는한국의전통을보기위한최고의축제중하나이다.

VolCanIC roCkS Can MakE a BEaUTIfUl CrEaTIon

•Written and photographed by Thomas Mathews Translated by yujeong Lee

When people think of winter traveling, they think more of ski resorts than going to the ocean or sea. When people think of traveling to Gyeongju, they think more of historical monuments, museums and tombs from the Silla Dynasty’s capital. but there is one place that is worthing checking out all year around.사람들이 겨울여행을 떠올리면 바다를 가는 것보다는 스키리조트를 더 생각하게 된다. 경주에 여행을 간다는 것을 생각하면 신라왕조의 수도에 있는 역사적인 건축물, 박물관, 무덤 등을 더 생각하는 편이다. 하지만 1년 내내 가볼만한 한 장소가 있다.

On the outskirts of Gyeongju to the outskirts of Ul-san are some cliffs along the ocean shore. Those cliffs are called Jusangjeolli (주상절리). Jusangjeolli means columnar joint rock formations. These rocks resemble different fallen pillars and are from volcanic rock formations. The most famous Jusangjeolli is on Jeju-island. but between Gyeongju National Park and Jeongja beach in Ulsan these small set of columnar joint rock formations are also nice to visit.울산의 외곽지역을 향한 경주 외곽에 해안가를 따라 절벽이 늘어서 있다. 이 절벽들은 주상절리라고 불리며 주상절리란 원주형 바위의 형태가 연결되어있다는 말이다. 이 바위들은 다르게 떨어진 기둥을 닮았으며 화산활동을 통해 만들어졌다. 가장 유명한 주상절리는 제주도에 있지만 경주국립공원과 울산의 정자해변 사이에 위치한 원주형 결합 바위도 가서 볼 만한다.

When I visited there on Halloween Day, it was very chilly due to the ocean breeze but it was still worth the short trip from my home in Gyeongsan. It was about 97 km from my home in Gyeongsan (near yeungnam University) to Gyeongju yangnam (where Jusangjeolli is located) by car via Gyeongbuk Expressway and Na-tional Highway #7. There is about 15 to 20 km where you have to drive up and down a mountain with many curves. 할로윈에 갔을 때는 바닷바람 때문에 매우 추웠지만 집이 있는 경산에서 짧게 여행을 할 만한 가값어치가 있었다. 경산에 있는 집(영남대 근처)에서 경주 양남(주상절리가 있는 곳)까지 차로 경북고속도로와 7번 국도를 타고 가니 97 km 정도였다. 그리고 15~20km 정도는 매우 심한 커브가 있는 산길을 운전해야 한다.

I got there mid-afternoon on Halloween Day. When you first arrived you can see a path, which is called Padosori-gil (파도소리길) which means Sound of Wave Road. This path or small road takes you around and above the cliffs. It is a very nice walk with very nice scenery.

gYEongjU YangnaM jUSangjEollI ClIffS


-continued on p26-

할로윈데이 오후가 한창일 때 도착했다. 처음 그 곳에 도착하면 파도소리길이라고 하는 오솔길을 하나 볼 것이다. 이 오솔길 혹은 작은 도로는 절벽 위로 데려다 데려다 줄 것이다. 아주 아름다운 풍경을 즐기면 즐겁게 걸어가면 된다.

On this path there are places in where you can take the stairs down and get closer to the cliffs and the ocean water. The shore of the ocean is all volcanic rocks (no sand). As you continue on the path, you will see a cable suspended small footbridge that is suspended from one cliff to another cliff with a small drop that the bridge goes over. Like most suspension bridges this bridge does shake making it feel like a little adventure when crossing it. 가는 길에는 절벽과 바다에 더 가까이 갈 수 있게끔 계단으로 걸어 내려갈 수 있는 곳이 있다. 해안가에는 모두 화산암이다.(모래가 없음) 계속 길을 가면 한 절벽에서 다른 절벽에 매달린 작은 다리를 지탱하고 있는 케이블을 보게 될 것이다.

After we walked across the bridge, we continued our walking on the path to the end of the path which is a deck above the final rock formations which looks similar to a Chinese fan or paper fan.

http://www.daegucompass.com26 Walking Japan’s Nakasendo Trail


On this deck you can take many pictures of the beautiful scenery in the background and enjoy more of the ocean breeze. 다리를 건너가서 부채꼴 모양을 닮은 주상절리 위로 설치된 데크가 있는 길의 끝까지 계속 걸어갔다. 이 데크에서는 배경의 아름다운 풍경과 함께 사진을 찍으며 바닷바람도 즐길 수 있다.

We started our walk back to the entrance of the path when the sun started setting. It was very beautiful. I also heard that when the sun rises in the morning, it is also really beautiful. So if you want to go for an early morning walk or early evening walk, this place is recommended by local residents. 해가 저물기 시작하자 길의 입구로 되돌아가기 시작했다. 정말 아름다운 순간이었다. 아침에 해가 뜨기 시작하는 순간 역시 매우 아름답다고 들었다. 이 곳 주민들은 이른 아침이나 초저녁 산책으로 이 곳으로 가보길 추천했다.

And at the entrance of the path, is a small white lighthouse but too small to go inside. Plus around the area, is of course, sashimi (raw fish) restau-rants, a hotel named, Napoli Hotel (looks more like a motel than hotel though) and small coffee shops including Caffe bene. 길의 입구는 작고 하얀 등대가 있지만 안으로 들어가보기엔 너무 작다. 게다가 그 근처에는 횟집, 나폴리 호텔(호텔보다는 모텔 같아 보였다.), 카페 베네를 포함한 작은 카페들도 물론 자리하고 있다.

So if you have a chance to take the short drive or bus ride down to Gyeongju, I hope you are able to find your way to Jusangjeolli for a nice walk along the ocean side and see these interesting columnar joint rock formations. 경주로 잠깐 운전을 하거나 버스를 타고 갈 기회가 있다면 주상절리로 갈 수 있는 기회가 있길 바란다. 바다를 따라 즐거이 걷다 보면 흥미진진한 원주형 암석을 볼 수 있을 것이다.

허브힐즈 hErB hIllZ hIllCrEST ECo-aDVEnTUrE ThEME Park

On a breezy and warm Saturday, I went with friends to Herb Hillz theme park, which is one stop before Spa Valley in Daegu. There are a variety of buses that take visitors there, being a short 30 minutes away from downtown. There were still construction going on around the area, but we found signs that directed us to the park easily. The admission price was 9000 won for adults. 바람이 선선히 부는 따뜻한 토요일, 친구들과 함께 스파밸리에서 한 정거장 전에 있는 대구의 허브힐즈에 갔다. 이 곳으로 가는 버스는 다양하고, 시내에서 짧게는 30분 정도 소요된다. 아직 근처에 공사가 진행중이긴 했지만 공원으로 안내하는 표지판을 쉽게 찾을 수 있었다. 성인 1명당 입장료는 9천원이었다.

It was a nice place with an abundance of different themed gardens- my favorite being the “green tea” theme and the “international” garden theme with lots of great photo spots and adorable statues such as the Little Prince. Herb Hillz had a very whimsical feeling to it- almost like a fairytale forest with a gentle stream in the background. Many visitors such as young cou-ples, seniors, and families with children were relaxing and taking a stroll. There were animal statues, forest “rest” areas, bridges and even a mini zoo throughout the park! Though the selection of restaurants was not many, the food was plentiful and very organic and fresh. I had a delicious dish called “flower bibimbap” decorated with real flowers.

다양한 테마의 정원이 가득한 정말 멋진 곳이었다. 내가 가장 머무르기 좋아했던 곳은 ‘녹차’와 ‘인터내셔널’을 주제로 한 정원이었는데 사진을 찍을 만한 장소와 어린왕자 같은 귀여운 동상들도 많이 있었다. 허브힐즈는 아주 기발한 장소 같았다. 거의 배경으로는 조용한 개울이 흐르는 동화속 숲 같은 곳이었다. 젊은 커플들, 노년층, 아이들이 있는 가족들 등 많은 방문객들이 제각기 휴식을 취하며 산책을 했다. 공원에서 휴식 공간, 동물 동상, 다리 심지어 미니 동물원도 있었다. 식당의 종류가 다양하지는 않지만 음식의 종류는 많았고 유기농이었으며 매우 신선했다. 나는 진짜 꽃으로 장식이 된 ‘꽃비빔밥’을 먹었다.

Though we didn’t have enough time, I recommend that visitors who are there all day to take part in crafts or cooking classes while there. This is especially catered to families with younger children, but young couples seemed to be enjoying themselves making crafts such as a mini stained glass to chocolate chip cookies. 우리에겐 충분한 시간이 없기는 했지만 허브힐즈에서 하루종일 머물 사람들에게는 공예나 요리 교실에 참여해보기는 권한다. 이 프로그램은 특히 어린 아이들이 있는 가족들에 알맞기는 하지만 어린 커플들도 미니 스테인글래스 같은 공예품이나 초코칩 쿠키를 만들며 재미있게 시간을 보내는 듯 했다.

Though Herb Hillz was very beautiful, the reason I visited and my favorite part was the “eco-adventures” section that is open to people of all ages, as there were 15 courses ranging from easy to difficult. being


-continued on p30-

very adventurous, my friends and I chose the “king kong” course, which was 25,000 won. This was the hardest course that involved a self-guided zipline canopy course, where we rock climbed, zip lined, balanced on single steel wires, climbed through webs, and went down mini bungee ump at the end. It was definitely hard and physical exerting, taking us almost 2 hours and out of ten people that started with us, half of the people were still behind us when we were finished. It was definitely a good workout in an exhilarating and breath-taking way, and what I loved most is that there are no workers there for guidance, as everyone was responsible for attaching their own ropes and ziplines. 허브힐즈가 매우 아름답지만, 이 곳을 방문하게 된 이유와 이 곳에서 가장 좋아하는 것은 바로 “에코 어드벤쳐”이다. 쉬운 코스부터 어려운 코스까지 총 15가지의 코스가 있어 모든 연령대의 사람들이 이용할 수 있다. 우리는 모두 모험심이 강했기에 2만5천원짜리 “킹콩” 코스를 골랐다. 이 코스는 가장 어려운 코스이며 셀프가이드 집라인 캐노피, 락 클라이밍, 집라인, 외줄 와이어에서 균형잡기, 그물 통과해

http://www.daegucompass.com30 KOREA ADVENTURES


서 오르기, 마지막으로는 미니 번지점프가 들어가 있다. 분명히 어렵고 육체적으로 힘껏 노력해야 하고 거의 2시간에 걸쳐 코스를 끝냈지만 우리와 함께 시작한 10사람들 중에 반은 아직 우리 뒤에서 코스를 하고 있었다. 크게 숨을 내쉬고 들이마시는 좋은 운동임에는 틀림없었다. 그리고 가장 좋아했던 것은 각자의 사람들이 스스로 로프와 집라인을 거는 것에 대해 책임을 져야 하기 때문에 가이드 역할을 하는 사람이 없었다는 것이다.

I definitely recommend Herb Hillz to people of all ages, as there is a wide variety of activities and sightseeing to do. It is a serene place of beauty, tucked away from the busy streets of downtown and most suitable for visit in the spring or summer. for the adventurous soul, they should have a try at the king kong course and for those that want to relax and explore, there are plenty of beautiful garden views to take in and even quaint little shops to look around in. Herb Hillz is definitely a gem in Daegu, and one of my favorite places within this city. I would definitely visit there again in the future!모든 연령대의 사람들에 허브힐즈를 추천한다. 그곳에는 다양한 활동거리와 볼거리가 있다. 아름다우며 고요한 곳이며 시내의 바쁜 거리에서 떨어져 있으며 봄이나 여름에 방문하기 가장 알맞은

곳이다. 모험을 즐기는 사람들은 킹콩코스를 반드시 체험해봐야 한다. 여유를 즐기며 돌아다니고 싶은 사람들을 위해서는 눈여겨 볼만한 아름다운 정원의 풍경과 둘러볼만한 신기하고 작은 가게들도 많이 있다. 허브힐즈는 대구의 보석이며 도시 내에서 가장 좋아하는 장소 중 한 군데이다. 당연히 이후에 다시 들러볼 것이다!

If you’ve never been to the Daegu Casino to play pok-er—or if you haven’t been in a while—now is a good time to check it out. The Daegu Casino Poker Room has gone through quite a few changes recently as new manager David Oh started working a couple of months ago. David’s goal is to make the poker room appeal-ing to a wider audience by hosting a variety of Texas Hold’em events and promotions that allow players of different levels to play at different stakes. 만약 대구 카지노에 포커를 하러 가 본 적이 없다면, 혹은 간 적이 오래 되었다면 지금이 한 번쯤 가볼 때이다. 대구카지노의 포커룸은 몇 달 전 일하기 시작한 새 매니저 데이빗 오를 맞이하여 상당한 변화를 겪었다. 데이빗의 목표는 다양한 텍사스홀덤 이벤트와 각기 다른 레벨의 플레이어들이 각자 다른 내기돈을 걸고 플레이를 할 수 있다는 광고를 통해 포커룸을 더 넓은 층의 손님들에게 어필하는 것이다.

PoCkET aCES nEVEr lookED So gooD

The poker room is a particularly friendly part of the ca-sino. The staff speaks English, and all of the dealers are patient and welcoming. Some are more experienced than others; however, the rake (10%) stays on the table until the hand is finished, and the dealers follow strict standard casino rules, so if a mistake happens, it is easily fixed. 포커룸은 카지노에서 특별히 더 친절한 곳이다. 스탭들은 영어를 할 수 있고 모든 딜러들은 인내심이 많으며 손님을 환대해준다. 몇몇 딜러는 다른 사람들보다 더 경험이 풍부하지만 레이크는(10%) 손이 다 빌 때 테이블에 남아 있는다. 그리고 딜러들은 엄격한 표준 카지노 규정을 준수하고 있어 실수가 생기면 쉽게 해결이 된다.

As for the players, most are Chinese, Vietnamese, Mongolian, or American. Ages range from early twen-

ties to old as dirt, and people come from a variety of backgrounds. This makes the poker room a great place to meet an interesting people. 플레이를 하는 사람들은 주로 중국인, 베트남인, 몽골인 혹은 미국인이다. 나이는 20대 초반에서 지긋한 초로의 노인도 있고, 매우 다양한 배경을 갖고 있다. 이런 점은 포커룸이 흥미로운 사람들을 만날 수 있는 좋은 장소가 되게끔 해준다.

What is a typical day like at the poker table? The room opens at 2:00 p.m. every day. Most players buy in for kRW 200,000 to get the daily promotion: If you buy in for kRW 200,000 or more before 2:30, you get an extra kRW 50,000 in chips. The only catch is that you have to play the cash game for at least three hours (although you can leave if you end up losing everything). The blinds are kRW 1,000 and kRW 2,000. Usually, the table fills up (9 players max) within the first hour, and players come and go throughout the afternoon. In the evening, especially on weekends, more players show up, and a second table ends up opening. As long as there are players, the room stays open, and players often stay until the wee hours of the morning.

포커테이블에서의 전형적인 하루는 어떠할까? 매일 오후 2시에 문을 열고 대부분의 플레이어들은 데일리 프로모션을 얻기 위해 원화로 20만원치의 칩을 산다. 만약 2시 30분 이전에 20만원 이상을 구매하게 되면 5만원치의 칩을 더 받게 된다. 유일한 캐치는 적어도 세 시간(모든 것을 잃어 떠날 수 있다 하더라도)은 캐쉬게임을 해야 한다는 것이다. 블라인드는 한화 1천원과 2천원이 있다. 보통 테이블은 첫 한 시간 동안 다 찬다.(최대 인원 9명) 그리고 플레이어들은 오후 시간 동안 오고 가게 된다. 저녁에는, 특히 주말에는, 더 많은 플레이어들이 오기 때문에 두번째 테이블을 개장한다. 플레이어들은 있는 한 룸은 열려 있고 이들은 이른 새벽까지 종종 남아 있는다.

If kRW 200,000 is too much for your budget, you can of course buy in for less, or you can play in the weekly Sunday tournament (2:00 p.m.). The buy-in for that is just kRW 50,000, and the top five players get paid, with first place receiving kRW 600,000. David is also starting lower-stakes cash tables, where the big blind is only kRW 1,000. And for those who really don’t want to risk

http://www.daegucompass.com38 The Daegu Casino Poker Room


any money but still want to try playing, the poker room now hosts free-roll tournaments where you can play for free yet still win money every Monday, Wednesday, friday, and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. So whatever your level or budget, the poker room has something for you.만약 20만원이 예산에 부담이 된다면 물론 더 적게 칩을 구매해도 된다. 아니면 매주 열리는 일요일 토너먼트(오후 2시)에 참가할 수도 있다. 여기에 참가하려면 5만원 치의 칩만 구매하면 되고, 1등은 60만원을 받고 5등까지 상금을 받는다. 데이빗은더 적은 내기돈을 현금으로 거는 테이블도 열었다. 큰 블라인드는 1천원에 불과하다. 어떤 돈도 잃는 위험을 감수하기는 싫지만 그래도 게임을 하고 싶은 사람들은 포커룸이 주최의 참가비 없이 할 수 있는 프리롤 토너먼트에 참여하면 된다. 무료로 경기를 할 수 있지만 승리하면 상금을 가져갈 수 있고, 매주 월요일, 수요일, 금요일, 토요일 오후 8시에 열린다. 그래서 레벨이나 예산이 어떻든 간에 포커룸은 당신을 위한 장소이다.

To find out about all of these events and get more information about the promotions and the cash games, like the poker room’s facebook page (Daegu Casino Poker Room), check out its website (http://www.daegucasinopoker.com/), or call 010-3416-2222.이러한 이벤트와 프로모션 및 캐쉬 게임에 대한 정보가 더 알고 싶다면, 페이스북의 포커룸 페이지 (Daegu Casino Poker Room)의 좋아요를 누르거나 웹사이트(http://www.daegucasinopoker.com/)를 방문하면 된다. 혹은 010-3416-2222로 전화해도 된다.

To get to the casino, ask the cab driver to take you to the Inter-burgo Hotel. There are two Inter-burgo Hotels in Daegu, so make sure you tell the driver you are going to Manchon. you can also get there by bus. Many buses will take you to the Mang-woo-dang Park bus stop, which is a three-minute walk away from the hotel.

카지노에 가려면 택시기사에게 인터불고 호텔에 가자고 이야기해야 한다. 대구에는 인터불고 호텔이 두 군데 있으니 꼭 만촌 쪽에 있는 곳으로 가야 한다고 해야 한다. 버스를 타고 갈 수도 있는데 호텔에서 약 3분 정도 거리에 있는 망우당공원 정류장으로 가는 버스가 많이 있다.

To get to the poker room, walk straight passed the slot machines. The poker tables will be on your right. Make sure you bring your passport or ARC to get into the ca-sino. 포커룸으로 들어가기 위해서는 슬롯머신을 지나 계속 직진해서 가면 된다. 포커 테이블은 오른쪽에 있을 것이다. 카지노에 입장하려면 여권이나 외국인등록증을 반드시 가져가야 한다.

With the fast approach to wintertime and the constant reminder of the passing of fall, as leaves are changing color and littering the ground with a wide array of colors, me and friends have constantly been on the lookout for fitting, warm, and stylish winter clothing in downtown Daegu this year. One thing I love the most about downtown Daegu is the convenience of shop-ping, as many boutiques and large clothing stores are clustered together. from doing some fall and winter shopping over the past month, here are some recom-mendations for good stores that can all be found within close proximity to each other in downtown: 나뭇잎의 색이 바뀌고 다양한 색으로 길바닥이 물들어갈수록 가을이 지나가고 겨울이 빠르게 다가온다. 올해 나와 내 친구들은 몸에 잘 맞는 따뜻하고 스타일리쉬한 옷을 대구 시내에서 계속해서 찾고 있었다. 대구 시내에 대해 가장 좋아하는 한 가지는 편리한 쇼핑이다. 많은 부띠끄와 대형 옷 가게가 함께 모여 있기 때문이다. 지난 달에 가을과 겨울을 대비한 쇼핑을 한 결과, 시내에서 서로 근접한 위치에 있는 좋은 옷가게들을 소개하고자 한다.

1. STyLENANDA : With a wide variety of accessories, shoes, outerwear, formal wear, and its own makeup line- STyLENANDA is very well known among koreans as a chic, trend-set-ting, clothing boutique with a lot of bold pieces. With many stores across korea, I was delighted to find STy-LENANDA on the first floor of the Lotte young Depart-

ment Store in Daegu downtown. They have some truly quality pieces, from warm long trench coats to fuzzy sweaters, and uniquely designed platform shoes and boots. The best thing is that the store color coordinates the clothing, from pastel hues to blacks- it makes for a great shopping experience. They also have a small se-lection of hats, scarfs, and gloves that are both stylish and warm.스타일난다 : 다양한 액세서리와 구두, 겉옷, 정장, 이 곳만의 메이크업 라인까지. 스타일난다는 한국인들에게 수많은 대담한 아이템으로 시크하며 유행을 이끄는 옷가게로 유명하다. 한국에 많은 가게들이 있지만 시내에 있는 롯데 영플라자 1층에서 스타일난다를 찾는 순간 크나큰 기쁨을 느꼈다. 여기에는 따뜻한 긴 트렌치 코트에서부터 보송보송한 스웨터, 독특한 디자인의 플랫폼 구두와 부츠 등 정말 질 좋은 아이템이 많다. 제일 최고인 점은 파스텔 색상에서부터 검은색까지 가게에서 옷의 색을 코디네이팅해준다는 것이다. 이는 정말 좋은 쇼핑 경험을 하게 해준다. 그리고 많지는 않지만 모자, 스카프, 장갑 등 스타일리쉬하고 따뜻한 아이템들도 갖추고 있다.

2. CHEAPCHIC : This store was one of the first that I visited on our very first day trip to Daegu. The store carries a wide variety of clothing for a very cheap price- mostly ranging from \10.000 for basic sweaters and shirts to around \40.000 for trenchcoats, bomber jackets, and leather jackets. The selling point of this store is that they are always

rECoMMEnDED ShoPPIng PlaCES In DaEgU for laDIES


changing up clothing trends, and different catego-ries of clothing are placed together for convenience of selection. In addition to carrying fall and winter wear, they also have a small selection of clutches and bags for an average of only \10.000.CHEAPCHIC : 이 곳은 대구에 가장 처음으로 당일여행을 온 바로 그 날 들렀던 가게들 중 하나이다. 매우 저렴한 가격에 다양한 옷들은 갖추고 있는데, 대부분 기본 스웨터나 셔츠는 1만원부터였고 트렌치 코트, 항공재킷, 가죽 재킷류는 4만원대였다. 이 가게의 판매 포인트는 유행에 따라 옷을 항상 바꾸고, 선택이 편리하도록 같은 종류의 옷끼리 모아둔다는 것이다. 가을, 겨울 옷에 조금 더하자면, 이 곳 역시 평균 1만원대의 클러치와 가방이 소량 갖춰져 있다.

3. MIXXO : This store reminds me of forever 21 in North Amer-ica with a little bit of korean styled twist, selling a collection of everything from warm pajamas and socks for the winter on their 2nd floor, to trendy coats and blazers on the first floor. In here, you’ll find many boots, heels, and the 1st floor is also where the “specials” are at, which are displayed in large racks right when you enter the store. The clothing is fashionable and suited for both younger and older women- with nice designs in both causal and formal wear. 미쏘 : 미쏘는 약간의 한국풍이 섞인 북미의 포에버 21을 떠올리게 하는 곳이다. 2층에 있는 겨울을 위한 따뜻한 잠옷과 양말부터 1층의 트렌디한 코드와 쟈켓까지 모든 아이템이 가득 모여 있다. 이 곳에서는 부츠와 하이힐도 찾아볼 수 있으며 1층 역시 ‘특별할인코너’가 있는 곳이기도 한데 가게에 들어서서 바로 오른쪽에 큰 옷걸이에 걸려 있다. 옷들은 패셔너블하고 젊은 층과 나이가 든 여성층 모두에게 잘 어울리며, 캐쥬얼한 스타일과 정장 스타일 모두 디자인이 좋다.

4. Lotte young Plaza : This store carries a massive array of winter trench coats, warm scarfs, sweaters, and racks upon racks of parkas and cardigans. Some notable stores are “kISS.CHU” and “Roem” which both sell beautiful, colorful designed clothing at a reasonable price. The entire 2nd floor is dedicated to men and women clothing, dependent on the season. If you get tired of shopping and want a break, a very good dessert café called “billy Angel Cake Co.” is located there- selling everything from rainbow crepes to carrot cakes. The 3rd floor is dedicated to sportswear and causal clothing for both genders. This store, being so close to Daegu Station is very convenient as a

one stop location for every shopping need you have. All the stores constantly have sales as well, so its is easy to hunt for department store quality deals throughout the building!롯데 영플라자 : 이 곳은 엄청나게 다양한 겨울 트렌치 코드, 따뜻한 목도리, 파카와 가디건이 쌓여 있는 옷걸이 위로 걸려 있다. 몇몇 가게들을 소개하자면, KISS.CH와 로엠이 있는데 두 군데 모두 합리적인 가격에 예쁘고 컬러풀하게 디자인된 옷을 구입할 수 있다. 2층 전체에는 계절에 따른 남성 및 여성 의류가 있다. 만약 쇼핑에 지쳐 휴식이 필요하다면 “빌리 엔젤 케이크 회사”라고 하는 정말 괜찮은 디저트 카페가 있는데 레인보우 크레페부터 당근 케이크까지 모든 것을 판매하고 있다. 3층은 남녀 모두가 입을 수 있는 스포츠의류와 캐쥬얼이 있다. 이 곳은 대구역과도 가깝고 필요한 쇼핑을 모두 할 수 있는 원스탑 쇼핑장소라 매우 편리하다. 모든 가게가 지속적으로 세일을 하기도 한다. 그러니 건물 전체에서 백화점 품질의 옷을 득템하기도 쉽다!

PoSTParTUM CarE In korEa

A recent style of care has begun to make waves in ko-rea and is slowly gaining traction as a popular option for families. This service, known as Postpartum Care, caters exclusively to women who have just given birth and are seeking help in the recovery process. Although fairly unknown to foreigners, it could become a promi-nent market in korean medical tourism in the future.

In korea, a mother who has just given birth is exempt from any work she used to do before labor such as working, house chores, taking care of the family, etc. The idea is that this will allow her to focus on the baby and her own physical and mental recovery. During this time, all family members help take care of her.

Postpartum care has become increasingly popular in korea since 1996 when the first centers opened. It is believed that a woman’s health after giving birth will af-fect her health for the rest of her life. Delivering a baby is no easy task and the body is drastically changed be-cause of it. The pelvic bone is expanded and all bottom bone structure is dislocated. A woman’s bone density can decrease to 50% in the worst cases. It takes about three months for a woman’s body to get fully recov-ered. In this way, postpartum care offers a new mother the chance to take care of her body, prevents negative after-effects of labor, and minimizes the risk of infec-tion to the mother or baby. This service also eliminates

the “thinking” involved with taking care of oneself and one’s baby after birth—it is all done specially for you by professionals.

Postpartum Care Centers are like hotels for mommies who have just gone through the long and difficult process of having a child.According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, there are 602 postnatal care centers in korea and Daegu is home to 32 of them. Of those 32, one of the best centers in Daegu is located at Hyosung Women’s Hospital near the Daegu bank subway station on the green line.This center is special in that Hyosung specializes in obstetrics and pediat-ricsso both the doctor who helped in delivery, as well as a nurse, provide care to the mother and her new baby. The Daegu Compassrecently visited Hyosung Hospital’s postpartum care center to get all questions answered about postpartum services.

The idea behind these centers is simple—to lift any burden from the new mother. Mothers stay here with their baby for two to three weeks. Nurses and special-ists are available 24/7. All meals are provided that are specific to helping with the mother’s recovery. There are outside specialists who come in to educate the mother in breastfeeding/scheduling, pelvic massages, and yoga. There are spa services as well as outside


exercise time too. babies are taken care of by nurs-es around the clock. Each mother has her own room to stay in outfitted with a bathroom, bed, and TV. In some cases, she can opt to have a larger room with a table and chairs and a reclining chair. There is a housekeeper who cleans regularly. It is exactly reminiscent of staying in a high-end hotel room.

Another great perk to Hyosung is its three English coordinators. If you are a foreigner seeking post-partum care, one of these excellent translators will be the liaison between you and the doctor. Most cases in which foreigners are using these services are women who are not korean but have korean husbands. It is also common in families in the U.S. military, as well as Chinese, Russian, and Japanese patients who have researched this style of treat-ment and are interested in using it. It is especially becoming popular within China and so many people come to see how the centers operate in order to open their own back home.

foreigners who enjoy postpartum care centers are most interested in the breastfeeding aspects of care. They do not want to feed their babies powdered for-mula as they believe breastfeeding is important to establishing a baby’s personality. Also, giving birth in western societies is very expensive and this is a more affordable option. However, the biggest reason why foreigners desire this service might be due to the nurs-es. Most nurses at these centers have worked there for ten or more years. They know what mothers want and they want to impress mothers with their care. for this reason, postpartum care is highly attractive to ko-reans and foreigners alike.

In Daegu, an average room at these centers can cost around 2,000,000 won for the whole stay. for a premium room, the cost is around 3,000,000 won. Although it is not cheap, patients can receive quality service and the comfort of knowing they are in good hands.

In some countries, there is little or no time allowed off from work after giving birth. This adds incredible amounts of stress to a new mother’s life, not to mention

she is busy taking care of her newborn baby. In korea, these centers allow women the chance to recuperate as well as have confidence their baby is receiving the care it needs to be healthy. This is a crucial aspect to postpartum care. After all, our health and our families’ health is one of the most essential aspects to a happy life.

This article is the last one of 2015 on Daegu medical tourism. Daegu, EXCO, and the Daegu Medical Tourism Promotion Committee haveworked to promote and market activities related to MICE industry to educate about quality medical service in Daegu. Also they pub-lished a helpful medical tourism guide book in six dif-ferent languages to provide useful information. be on the lookout in the future for more information from the Daegu Medical Tourism group and all that they provide. Thank you.

gajokGajok means 'family' in korean. That's the feeling you get when you step inside this wonderful korean restaurant. Now, before you start to get a mental picture of the food it serves, just know that most of the meat is from the thigh and not the actual foot. What??? yes, Gajok serves pig's foot for dinner.. but it's not like you are eating the hoof of the pig. In korea, the foot and leg seems to go hand in hand, so it is similar to eating drumsticks (chicken legs). Enjoy!

Daehan news / Two PpulGrilled over an open flame. That's the concept behind Daehan News and Two Ppul.After selecting your choice of steak or pork, a server really heats things up as it cooks your meat with a mini blowtorch. Sounds hot, right? The korean sides provided compliment the meal perfectly. The interior of both restaurants is in true korean 'pojang macha' style where dining around a stainless steel table with clear plastic walls sheltering you from the elements. So next time its korean night, head on over to either of these meaty restaurants.
